I would also assume the delete key.

Most likely the Delete key on the keyboard.

 

That corresponds with Edit>Clear in photoshop.

Be careful what is activated/ selected in the Layers panel. Select/click on layer with pixel information that you want to delete, do not select layer mask. 

 

As already mentioned by @Jeff Arola author is using Delete or Backspace key to delete content and probably Alt + [ to move through layer stack in the Layers panel.

 

And by the way, selection must be active while pressing keyboard shortcut.
